Chapter on encouragement to patience over the death of children and its reward
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 9406 — on encouragement to patience over the death
عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا تَعُدُّونَ فِيكُمُ الرَّقُوبَ قَالَ قُلْنَا الَّذِي لَا وَلَدَ لَهُ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّ الرَّقُوبَ الَّذِي لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ شَيْئًا
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whom do you consider to be 'Raqoob' (childless) among yourselves? We said: The one who has no children. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, 'Raqoob' is the one who has not sent any minor child ahead.
